If you had a party consisting of all Hobbits would they really want to go on a dungeoncrawl? I think they may dabble into a dungeon for a couple rooms until they found a bit of gold then head back to the nearest village to eat and drink and smoke and live off the loot until it disappeared. Role playing hobbits do you ever question their motivation?

Noooo! Won't go to the dungeon! Slaying orcs could... Blunt the knives.

Have a wizard push them in or mail them an evil artifact, then they'll think about it.

I played baseball every summer as a child, and each year we would have one kid who sat out in right field staring at clouds and looking at bugs instead of playing the game.

But I would play the scenario you described if each player controlled a family-group of Hobbits over several generations. Each "adventure" excursion would be a result of the family running out of money and the rest would center around Hobbit politics and domain management.

"We are plain quiet folk and have no use for adventures. Nasty disturbing uncomfortable things! Make you late for dinner!"

In my Wilderness setting, hobbits all live off the map to the west in Hobbiton. Bilbo was a lone exception to the norm. There simply aren't any hobbit adventurers in my campaign--not even one (let alone five).

Did the same thing during soccer. I can't remember why I always played sports or if my parents made me. |

If I were running an all-Hobbit campaign, I'd keep most of the adventures in the wilderness. Hobbits seem to be more suited there than to dungeons.

Like Piper, if someone handed me a hobbit pre-gen for a game, I would never ask myself, "what would a hobbit do?" I would only ask myself, "how can I use this character sheet as a ticket to fantasy land and as a way in which I can increase this character in level." Fight on! |

"There were no wolves living near Mr. Baggins’ hole at home, but he knew that noise. He had had it described to him often enough in tales. One of his elder cousins (on the Took side), who had been a great traveller, used to imitate it to frighten him."
"Not the Gandalf who was responsible for so many quiet lads and lasses going off into the Blue for mad adventures? Anything from climbing trees to visiting elves—or sailing in ships, sailing to other shores!"

I like those old hobbit minis where they are carrying frying pans.

Yeah, actually they don't walk into the bar. They are short enough to walk beneath it.  |

Role playing hobbits do you ever question their motivation? I think that when given a situation of any character who is an adventurer, rather than question if I would adventure I would instead look for a reason why I would do it. * Missing relative * Reclaim inheritance * Need for treasure (perhaps losing one's home or land) * A promise made to someone * something else. I wouldn't say, "no, a hobbit would never do this" and quit playing. Not unless my wife called and told me to come home.  |
